Princess Yachts Princess 56 (1998) For sale

The Princess 56 represents one of the most successful flybridges of the British shipyard, capable of combining construction quality, excellent seaworthiness and great sailing comfort. This 1998 example stands out for an increasingly rare feature on the market: it has had a single owner, who has maintained it carefully and continuously over the years.

The boat is in good general condition and has undergone major maintenance, including the refurbishment of the heat exchangers and the replacement of the seacocks in 2022, as well as the recent renewal of the safety certificate in July 2025. The two Volvo Penta TAMD 122P-Bs have only 1,370 hours of operation, testimony to a limited and always careful use.

Navigation is supported by a rich technical equipment that includes an 11 kW Kohler generator, bow thruster, autopilot, Furuno radar, double GPS plotter, AIS, two cameras in the engine room integrated into the instrumentation and an effective emergency system for emptying the engine room operated by the main engines.

The outdoor spaces offer everything you would expect from a flybridge of this category: large teak cockpit, flybridge equipped with barbecue and sink, electro-hydraulic gangway, integrated bathing platform and numerous amenities dedicated to outdoor living. Access to the flybridge is possible either via the external staircase from the cockpit or through the internal staircase from the saloon, ensuring practicality and comfort in every situation.

Interior description

The interiors of the Princess 56 are designed to offer bright, functional and particularly livable environments even during long stays on board. The layout includes three cabins and two bathrooms, as well as an independent crew cabin with two beds and a dedicated bathroom, an ideal configuration for both family cruising and for those who want to have crew on board.

The large saloon welcomes guests with well-distributed spaces and quality finishes, while the galley, completely separate, has a four-burner ceramic hob, electric oven, three refrigerators, washer-dryer and practical galley compartment that guarantees high autonomy while sailing.

Comfort is ensured by the air conditioning system with autonomous management of the cabins and reversible air conditioning, as well as the presence of hot water, TV, sound system and numerous 220V and 12V sockets. The two cameras installed in the engine room, which can be viewed directly on the plotters, further increase safety and control during navigation.

One of the strengths of the boat is the rationality of the layout, which allows the flybridge to be reached both through the internal and external staircase, offering a practical connection between the interiors and the spaces dedicated to outdoor life. A set of features that makes this Princess 56 a complete, elegant proposal perfectly suited to family or guest cruises.
